Everything was perfect and I was able to check in late which was a relief. My only problem was the air conditioner was turning on and off and i couldn’t figure out how to make it go normal and I couldn’t sleep as well because of that but overall great experience! I totally recommend this place anyways. They have a big room, super convenient and comfortable, the fridge was big, great stay!

Everything was great about the stay staff was wonderful, amenities wonderful. However during our stay we could hear other people talking from some other rooms it was very loud outside of the room, it was good for a one-night stay.

Staff was nice and check in was easy. Says room have been recently renovated, ours was not and I will leave it at that. I don’t like leaving bad reviews, and we are not extremely picky about where we stay as it is usually for just one night. Unfortunately, this is one place we will not stay at again. I do not recommend for families either.

The staff was very helpful and courteous. The room was what you would expect from a "budget" hotel. It had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. The mini fridge allowed us to keep essentials on hand. The microwave allowed us to cook in the room and save money not having to eat takeout. The absolute best part of our stay was the continental breakfast. The Golden Waffle machine is AMAZING!!!! All the fresh, golden waffles you can eat. I would stay here again just for the waffles! Great stay at a great price.
